Doctor Alby Pujaan Hati
Departure Day

Alby looked at Devi who was sitting in the passenger seat while sighing softly. Alby is on his way to take Devi to the airport. Devi was still the same as the previous two days. He looked quiet, lethargic and gloomy making Alby very worried.

"Don't be sad. Your brother wouldn't be happy to see you grieve like that. You know, we doctors usually joke around with patients who have severe illnesses like tumors, late-stage cancers. We treat all of them just like healthy people in general so that they don't think about their dangerous disease that can take their lives at any time" Alby said.

Devi who heard Alby's words turned her head to look at Alby while hugging her Totonya doll tightly.

"Those who are sick do not want to be treated like sick people. They want to enjoy their life happily without the burden of panyakit. It's the same as your brother Dev. Just imagine what your brother would feel as soon as he saw you now? You who now seem quiet are not as usual. Do you think this is what your brother wants? Of course not! Your brother wants you to stay as cheerful as ever and look very happy. That's the reason why your brother kept his illness a secret from you. Your brother hides this not because he thinks of you as a child, but he does not want to see you sad and gloomy like this. Come on, you have to show your brother that you're a strong girl, any kind of ordeal won't let you down so Sean doesn't regret letting you know about his illness" Alby said.

"Om Alby is right, then I will try to behave as usual om," said Devi while smiling at Alby.

Alby who heard it also returned Devi's smile while rubbing Devi's head slowly.

"I know you can do it."

"of course. I'm a descendant of wonder woman you know," said Devi prides herself.

"I believe you, but are you sure you're going off on your own without Laudya?" ask Alby to doubt. In addition, Devi also did not have the heart to go to Singapore alone. Alby's afraid of anything happening on the street.

"I'm sure. I don't want to deal with Jessica if Aunt Laudya accompanies me to Singapore" Devi replied, bowing her head.

"Why indeed? Jessica started bothering you again?" ask Alby.

"No. I was just anticipating it, "devi lied. Devi couldn't possibly have told Alby if Jessica had spoken rudely to him yesterday and bothered him. Devi feels mature now and she will learn to deal with her own problems without involving Alby.

Ting!

Devi reached into her phone from inside the bag and found a message notification from Raden. Without waiting for long, Devi immediately read the message from Raden.

You remember my promise a few days ago, right? I'll buy you some ice cream. Can we meet now at the usual cafe? I want to give you something.

Devi sighed softly before typing in a reply message for Raden.

I'm sorry next time, brother, I'm on my way to the airport. I'm going to Singapore in a few days. We leave if I'm back yes;)

"Who?" ask Alby.

"Sister Raden. He invited me to meet at the cafe today" Devi replied as she put her phone back in her bag.

"What did you answer then?"

"I said I can't because I'm going to Singapore."

"Good, you're smart. For now just focus on spending your time with your brother and don't care about Raden first" advises Alby who is embraced by Devi.

"Om Alby don't have to worry. I'll be with Sean's brother 24 hours nonstop" Devi said.

"As soon as you arrive, let me know and don't forget to let me know if anything happens to Sean. One more thing, if you're confused at the airport, you call me and I'll guide you" Alby said.

"Ready om!" answer Devi's spirit while saluting Alby.

Alby laughed at Devi's behavior. In Alby's heart, he felt happy to see Devi was a little back to how she was.

*****

Raden stared intently at the beautiful snail in a box with a blue ribbon on it. Raden had already bothered to order the poisonous snail from India but it seemed like his plan had failed miserably!

Raden accidentally chose a beautiful colored snail known as the market cone snail to give to Devi as a gift. Because of his beautiful color, Raden is sure Devi will not know if the snail contains a deadly poison, even one drop of snail venom can kill 25 adults at a time and to date there is no antidote for the poison. Isn't that a very sweet gift for Devi?

"This time I may fail, but I will make sure that once you return from Singapore I will not fail again" Raden said with ambition.

Dear passengers, welcome to Singapore, we have landed at Changi International Airport, we encourage you to stay seated until the plane completely stops in place and the seatbelt sign lights are turned off.

Devi reattached her black sling bag on her shoulder. She squeezed the end of her skirt to strengthen herself because she would soon meet her brother. Devi must be able to hold back her sad feelings later when she is in front of Sean because as Alby told her, her brother definitely does not want to see Devi sad.

"I should be able to!" devi said inwardly encouraging herself. But still tears began to pool in his eyes.

Devi sighed deeply before the plane had landed perfectly and passengers were welcome to disembark.

Devi reaches into her cell phone to let Alby know if he has landed safely, just looking for Renata who came to pick him up.

After informing Alby, Devi immediately set foot to get off the plane and take the trunk.

As soon as he finished taking the luggage, Devi immediately contacted Renata and asked where she was now.

"Dev!" call Renata from behind.

Devi immediately turned around and saw Renata who was waving at her. Without waiting any longer, Devi immediately ran and rushed into Renata's arms while crying.

Renata stroked Devi's back gently to calm her down.

"Son Renata was so bad to me. Why didn't you tell me the truth. Why did my sister just say yes to my request when Renata's brother was about to leave for Singapore?" ask Devi.

Renata remembers Devi's request as she was about to leave for Singapore first. Devi asks him to find her brother Sean who is also in Singapore and Devi also requests that Renata get acquainted with Sean, so Devi will easily monitor her brother from Renata. Renata feels guilty at the time for having lied to Devi and not telling Devi that her goal of leaving for Singapore was to meet Sean himself. But Renata has no choice but to keep it a secret from Devi because Sean and Alby do not want Devi to know Sean's illness.

"I'm sorry" Renata regretted.

"I forgive brother. I know the reason," said Devi as she let go of her embrace.

Renata smiled as she wiped away Devi's tears.

"You ready? We'll meet your sister," asked Renata softly.

"I'm ready. Let's go see brother."
